Sheree JananeUpshaw

Services for Sheree JananeUpshaw, age 41, of EastDublin will be held at 2 p.m. on

BY MICHAEL ROIZEN,M.D., AND MEHMET OZ,M.D.

In "Wild Hogs," Tim Allenand Martin Lawrence thoughtthey could reclaim their youthand vitality on the seat of aHarley. But unless they werepopping multivitamins as theycruised cross country, theyweren't likely to gain muchmore than saddles sores fromthe 4,000-mile trip.

A14-year study of more than14,000 middle-age male doctors(safe bet there's a few Harleyowners in the group) revealsthat taking a daily multi cutsthe risk of cancer by 8 percent -

- and, if you factor out prostatecancer (it accounted for half thecancers, which in many caseswere caught early and treatedeffectively), a steady supply ofvitamins and minerals is a lotmore powerful cancer deterrentthan that.

So how can a guy grab thisadvantage? We say, take yourmultivitamin and then rev-upyour health with even more can-cer-proofing nutrition and sup-plements.

The foods that cool: Reduceinflammation, strengthen yourimmune system and rideroughshod over your cancer riskby eliminating trans fats, most

saturated fats, all added sugarsand sugar syrups and any grainthat's not 100 percent whole.Now don't slow down! Add inphytonutrient and antioxidant-rich veggies like kale, Brusselssprouts, spinach and broccoli,and lycopene-packing tomatoes.Choose fruits loaded with can-cer-fighting lupeol: grapes, man-goes and strawberries.

Super-boosters: Take 900mil-ligrams ofDHAomega-3 a day. Ifyour D-3 levels are OK (a bloodtest will tell you) get 1,000 IU aday from food and supplements.Make it 1,200 after age 60.That'll get your motor runnin'...

DEAR ABBY:AsVeteransDayapproaches,may I share afew guidelinesthat can be help-ful when inter-acting with vet-erans or servicemembers?

1. It is never OK to ask a vet-eran if he or she has killed some-one or to joke about it. If wehave, we can't even talk about itwith our spouses, much less astranger.

2. When you thank us for ourservice or pay for our meal, it isreally appreciated. We also ap-preciate packages and notes.

3. Please don't tell us thatwars are a waste of dollars orlives or were fought for oil. Whatwe hear is that, in your opinion,our best friend died for nothing.We know many people disagreewith war, but it's better to keepyour opinions to yourself.

4. Many of us now havePTSD. If you see us acting anx-ious or moving away fromcrowds, turning our backs to thewall or fidgeting, simple kind-ness or a little distraction will beappreciated. Talk to us aboutsomething interesting and giveus some breathing room.

5. Please remember that 15percent of those who serve in themilitary are women, and somehave been in combat. It's betterto ask, "Are you a veteran?"rather than, "Was your husbanda soldier?"

6. As with any person whohas a disability, please do notstare at us. We can be sensitiveabout our scars or injuries andwould prefer not to be asked torelive a difficult experience bybeing quizzed about what hap-pened. Please also understandthat war injuries today are verydifferent than in the past and areoften not visible. It is not OK totell someone they "don't look dis-abled" or appear to need help.

Those of us with disabilitiesappreciate light conversationand assistance if we look like weare in need.

It was my pleasure to serveour country. --AMANDAC., U.S.

Multivitamins Prevent Cancer

Veterans Appreciate GratefulAcknowledgement Of Service

ARMY DISABLED VETERANDEAR AMANDA C.: Thank

you for your service. And thankyou, too, for your helpful sugges-tions, which are sure to be ap-preciated not only by civilians,but also by active and retiredmembers of our military.

Readers, as the war inAfghanistan winds down, manythousands of service membersare returning homeand enteringthe job market. Please, if possi-ble, honor their courage, dedica-tion and sacrifice by doing yourpart and providing them withemployment. Considering whatthey have done for us, it is theleast we can do to show our ap-preciation.

DEAR ABBY: I'm afraid I'man abusive girlfriend.When I getmad at my boyfriend, I yell athim and call him names. Some-times I hit him. Even though he

really makes me angry, I do lovehim. I'm not crazy, but I don'tknow how to control myself. It'snot like I'm threatening to killhim.

I don't want to go to counsel-ing or group classes. I don't real-ly hit him a lot. I yell more. I al-so have jealousy issues. Whatcan I do? -- PROBLEM GIRL-FRIEND

DEAR GIRLFRIEND: Yourconcern is justified, because youARE an abusive girlfriend.While I applaud your growingself-awareness, it is very impor-tant that you understand thereasons you are behaving thisway so you can stop. While youmay not like the idea of counsel-ing or group anger managementclasses, it would be much betterif you went voluntarily ratherthan one day having them court-mandated.

News Digest....

The church first began theoutreach in 2006, selecting theCalhoun St. area as the out-post to cook a Thanksgiving-style meal and offer necessitiesto families in and aroundDublin.It wasn't long before the an-

nual event grew to feed a cou-ple hundred, then 750 and nownearly 1,000.Dawkins said his church

was approached by other areachurches who offered to com-mit time, money, food and ser-vices to the effort. Along withCrossroads, Living Life, ChristChapel and Faith ChristianAssembly will combine to cookup more than 70 turkeys,dressing, green beans, poundcake and iced tea for anyonelooking for a hot meal for theirfamily."It was far beyond us,"

Dawkins said. "Other churches

have gotten involved. You havefamilies who are less fortu-nate. They can't afford to buythings for their family. Thisgives them a financial relief."Besides the meal, the min-

istry will also have roughly 50racks of clothing and four bar-bers on hand to provide freehaircuts. Prayer teams, andspecial tables with faith-basedinformation will be availableall day long."It's a physical and spiritual

thing," Dawkins said. "It'shard to tell someone you lovethem and mean it if you can sitthere and listen to their stom-ach growling. This is a demon-stration of God's love."Dawkins said the ministry

is still accepting clothing, foodand other items with 100 per-cent going toward the weekendeffort.For more information, or to

Thunder throughout the state.The GOHS coordinates 16

Regional Traffic EnforcementNetworks in the state to helpenforce the year-round speed,impaired driving and safetybelt campaigns. Dublin’sH.E.A.T. Unit will use thegrant to develop and imple-ment strategies to reduce localcrashes, injuries and fatali-ties.During the last grant peri-

od between Oct. 1, 2011 andSept. 30, 2012, the Dublin Po-lice Department worked 1,133vehicle crashes that resultedin two deaths and 213 in-juries. This averages out to 94vehicle crashes a month with14 percent resulting in in-juries.“Thirty-seven percent of all

of our crashes are a direct re-sult of impaired drivers,speeding or failure to yield,”Champion said. “We had twofatalities and 213 people in-jured. For a city of our size,that’s atrocious. … We had toland helicopters and we’vehad numerous people flownout who were seriously in-jured.”The Dublin Police Depart-

ment’s goal is to reduce thetraffic crashes which arecaused by impaired drivers,speeding and failure to yield.And it’s something that can befixed.

“It’s something we can fixthrough education and en-forcement,” Champion said.“If we don’t stay on top of it,it’ll get worse.”Champion said people need

to have designated driverswhen they go out to drink.“Coordinate ahead of time

and have that designated dri-ver,” he said.Speed limits are set by en-

gineers from the Georgia De-partment of Transportation.“They make an assessment

of how fast people should goon that road,” Champion said.“If you do the speed limit,you’re not going to have aproblem. Following too closelyis speed related. I see carsthat are on the bumpers ofeach other. That’s crazy. If thelead car stops for whateverreason, you’re going to hitthem.”Failure to yield requires

teaching people to understandhow to use a stop sign andyield sign.“A stop sign means stop

and a yield sign means youyield to traffic that has theright of way,” Champion said.“People will stop at a stopsign, look one way, and notthink about the traffic fromthe other way. That’s failure toyield. These are things thatwe can get fixed and reduced.People just need to pay atten-tion to what they’re doing andfollow the rules.”

ous injuries and was treatedand released from the hospital.He didn’t believe the girl washurt in the incident.“We will continue to investi-

gate what happened and findout why it happened,” he said.“Charges will probably be madewhen the investigation is over.The dogs were on somebodyelse’s property, were runningloose and weren’t contained.”Bryant said there was a re-

sponsible dog owner’s law thatwent into effect in July. On May3, Governor Nathan Dealsigned the “Responsible DogOwnership Law” to protect thegeneral public and their petsfrom injuries and death causedby dog attacks.“It goes into keeping your

dog maintained where it doesn’thave to be on a leash or fenced-in area,” he said. “The dog hasto be under control and if itbites someone, the owner is re-sponsible.“We don’t want this type of

incident to happen,” Bryantadded. “People who own ani-mals need to make sure all oftheir pets have rabies vaccina-tions. That’s state law. If youown a pet, you need to makesure they are secured on yourproperty and not runningloose.”

non Roberts, fifth gradeteacher, Debra Mainor, par-ent, Criss Emmons, parentinvolvement coordinator, and

Polhill for getting everythingready for the elections to beheld Tuesday.“(Roberts) wanted to get it

ready for election day,” Mc-Manus said. “They prettymuch put everything togetherand got everything going. Wewere impressed with our vot-ing polls and our precinct.”And it’s good for the chil-

dren to learn about the impor-tance of voting, Polhill said.“That’s what our school is

all about,” Polhill said. “We’reshowing them that they dohave a say about what goes onand that they can make a dif-ference. Hopefully this is astep toward showing themthat they do have a voice.”Candidates put campaign

posters all over the hallways.

And unlike the national elec-tions, there was no mudsling-ing.“The students really got in-

to this and we had no mud-slinging,” McManus said.“One of our candidates saidthat this election will be calmand respectful. We appreciatethat.”The school is K through

fifth grades but only those insecond through fifth gradecould vote. Only a fifth gradercould run for president whilefourth graders ran for vice-president. Anybody in thirdthrough fifth could run for sec-retary or media specialist.“We did that because we

wanted our vice president tobecome president next yearand have a feel for what was

going on and how to run theshow,” McManus said. “Theway we have it set up is, thevice president will becomepresident next year. We want-ed to have some consistency sothat we won’t be starting overevery year.”Polhill not only thanked

the students for voting Tues-day, she told them to remindtheir parents to get out andvote.“We’re excited and trying to

teach them to be leaders intheir community and they’relearning to be actively in-volved in what goes on in theircommunity and in theirschool,” Polhill said. “Our stu-dents have really enjoyed be-ing a part of what goes on inour school.”

Deal Suggests Ga. Unlikely To Run Health ExchangeATLANTA (AP) — A day

after Barack Obama’s re-elec-tion, Gov. Nathan Deal sug-gested that he will not imple-ment a Georgia health insur-ance exchange as part of the2010 federal health care over-haul that ranks as the presi-dent’s signature legislativeachievement.Deal told The Associated

Press on Wednesday that hewouldn’t disclose his decisionuntil notifying federal au-thorities. But he noted thatthe state stopped planning anexchange once federal agen-cies wrote regulations that hesays restrict Georgia’s abilityto design its own program.The decision to stop, Deal

says, is “probably a prettygood indication of where weare headed.”The law states the option

to run the exchanges or de-fault to the federal govern-ment. The exchanges wouldallow individuals to shop forprivate insurance.Whether consumers would

notice real differences be-

tween a federal or state ex-change remains to be seen.But Deal’s reticence under-scores the continued philo-sophical and political wran-gling that surrounds imple-mentation of the AffordableCare Act.Congress set a Jan. 1,

2013, deadline for states tohave an operable exchange.Deal has until Nov. 16 to sub-mit an outline for an ex-change or notify federal au-thorities that Georgia de-clines to open its own.Deal said he was initially

inclined to consider a state-run exchange, and in 2011, heappointed a committee thatadvised him on how to pro-ceed. That panel optedagainst recommending astate-managed exchange.By the time the U.S.

Supreme Court ruled on theconstitutionality of the law’skey provisions this spring,Deal said he would wait untilafter the election to make adecision. Republican chal-lenger Mitt Romney had

promised to “repeal and re-place” the law, a prospect thatnow is moot given the presi-dent’s re-election and Democ-rats retaining control of theU.S. Senate.Asked for an example of a

policy that Georgia couldn’timplement as part of the ex-changes, Deal cited “associa-tion plans,” a concept thatwould allow a professional ortrade association to form alarge group insurance pool —similar to large employers —to spread risk and, theoreti-cally, make coverage afford-able.The governor said the Oba-

ma administration’s pre-ferred approach is to pushuninsured individuals to theexchange markets where theycan buy individual plans.Many of those customers willhave their premiums subsi-dized by the federal govern-ment, depending on their in-come levels.Cindy Zeldin is executive

director of Georgians for aHealthy Future. As a member

of Deal’s advisory panel onexchanges, she filed a minori-ty report urging the governorto pursue a state-run ex-change.At this point, she said,

“Georgia is too far behind theplanning stage” for that tohappen. Under a federallymanaged exchange, she said,“Consumers will still havelargely the same experiencein terms of visiting a websiteand shopping for coverage.”But she said a state-run

exchange might better serveconsumers who have trouble,because regulators and staffmembers “know the Georgiainsurance market” betterthan federal authorities.House Speaker David Ral-

ston, a Republican like Deal,has previously said he wouldprefer Georgia take the leadbecause of a “strong inclina-tion for states to craft solu-tions to state problems.” But,he said, “it all depends on thestrings attached and whetherthe rules would actually letus design a Georgia plan.”

As Georgia’sRepublicans continue tograsp the national electionresults, there remains aclear disparity. It appearsthat Republicans will nowhave a supermajority in theState Senate. At this timethey are one Republicanshort in the State House.Republicans held on to bothstatewide Public ServiceCommissioner seats con-vincingly, retaining allstatewide elected offices inthe GOP’s control.Yet down in Georgia’s

12th Congressional dis-trict, Congressman JohnBarrow is smiling. He willreturn to Washington fromhis Augusta home, just likehe has before from hisSavannah home and hisAthens home. TheRepublicans keep movinghis district, and JohnBarrow keeps going toCongress - This time, by avery convincing margin.It wasn’t supposed to be

like this. WhenCongressional maps wereredrawn, there were twodistinct priorities. The 9thDistrict was to again beanchored by Hall Countyand was to be decisively

Republican. Congressman-elect Doug Collins, notcoincidentally from HallCounty, will be sworn inthis January.The other priority was to

turn Georgia’s 12th districtto a Republican district.Democrats in ChathamCounty were charitablygiven to Georgia’s first dis-trict held (and successfullydefended) by JackKingston. Republicansfrom the 8th District,which recently flipped fromDemocrat Jim Marshall toRepublican Austin Scott,were added to Georgia 12 toensure a Republican wouldbe elected. The result wasa district that voted 60%for George Bush in 2004and 56% for John McCainin 2008.On paper, there was no

way Republicans could losethis seat. Elections, how-ever, are not executed onpaper. When it was over,Barrow returns to D.C.with 54% of the vote in adistrict that he was sure tolose.Republicans had a bitter

primary among four candi-dates that were largelyunknown to the district.

The only one with priorelected experience, Rep LeeAnderson from ColumbiaCounty, ultimately won theprimary runoff by a marginthat needed to be recountedto stand.A decision was made to

keep the candidate insulat-ed, with no public debatesof Barrow. Further, the fre-quent press releases usedto message on behalf ofAnderson most often quot-ed a campaign spokesper-son rather than the candi-date himself. Many of thedistrict’s Republicansremained unsold onAnderson after the prima-ry, and were put off by the“prevent defense” type of a

campaign where the chal-lenger ran as if he were theincumbent.The 12th District

Republicans have vowed tobegin immediately recruit-ing a higher profile candi-date for the 2014Congressional race. SenatePresident Pro Tem TommieWilliams’ name is floatedmost often. He is steppingdown as President Pro Temfor the 2013-2014 session ofthe General Assembly andhas remained somewhatcoy as to his future plansbeyond that. He will likelyreceive a number of callsfrom local GOP membersinquiring if his desire towork in DC has changed.

Those same folks maywant to consider making acall to one other person aswell. That person is JohnBarrow.Barrow is clearly liked

within the district, thougha 2014 matchup with himas a Democrat will likely bemore challenging. A betterRepublican candidate in anon-Presidential electionwould likely make this dis-trict much more competi-tive. Yet 54 to 46 is not aneasy margin for the GOP toflip.Barrow also has support

among other elected offi-cials within the district,many of whom now wearthe Republican label butonce shared Barrow’s cur-rent party. Privately, theyhave made it clear theywould welcome him if hewere to make the inquiry.There was a time in

Georgia when GOP recruit-ment was almost exclusive-ly on popular conservativeor centrist Democrats. Itremains to be seen if theemergence of the TEAParty has closed that door.Dems will likely point tothe fate of Doug McKillipand Rick Crawford as those

who weren’t accepted byRepublicans after announc-ing a switch.If done at this time, how-

ever, Barrow’s switchwould look a lot more likethat of one other formerGeorgia Congressman – theone who now resides in theGeorgia governor’s man-sion. Nathan Deal ran in2004 against NewtGingrich’s Contract forAmerica. It was Gingrichwho gave deal the propercover to become an accept-ed member of theRepublican club afterward.Republicans clearly need

to recruit the right candi-date if they are to take holdof Georgia 12. The ques-tion appears to be open asif they would want to try torecruit the currentDemocratic Incumbent.

OUR TAKE:

Barrow Keeps Georgia 12

It’s That Time Of Year ForGas Prices To Fall

It’s strange how things work. It seems like italways rains on election day, just like it didTuesday. That’s not always the case. A few months ago

on election day in July, it didn’t rain. You can look on the weather map and see that

it wasn’t raining everywhere on Tuesday; mostlyin the south.When one predicts the weather, they are look-

ing at maps and other conditions. It’s easier topredict the outcome of an election or sportingevent. Even in sports, most people know whoshould have the better team before the gamebegins. But the game has to be played to provewho the best team is.Besides that, there is something else that is

getting easier to predict that usually happensaround election time: The gasoline prices godown.We aren’t complaining. I don’t know too many

people who would be upset to see gas prices godown. It’s just funny to see them go down somuch at election time. How does one explain that? Many people

believe it has something to do with politicians.It does seem strange that the gas prices comedown just in time for the elections.Some people have said they think the prices

will go back up after the elections are over, andthey will, eventually.Hopefully that will probably happen after

Thanksgiving. But just like other things in life,there isn’t much we can really do about gasprices but talk about it and wait to see how lowit comes down or how high it goes up.— Payton Towns III

Letters To The Editor...Dear Editor,It is a paradox:

Everywhere I go, supervi-sors tell me they can’t findenough quality workers.Yet, the unemploymentnumbers hover at recordhighs. How is this possible?Let’s start with manufac-

turing and construction —something we hear a lotabout at the Public ServiceCommission. In this world,welders and other skilledlabor are in high demand —but short supply. Take atour of Plant V o g t l ewhere our new nuclearreactors are being built, orPlant McDonough where acoal plant is being convertedto natural gas. These facili-ties are a sea of iron andmetal, and skilled weldersand pipe-fitters are needed.These jobs pay good

money, yet I am told thatfinding quality welders —who can also pass a drugtest — is a challenge. Thisdisconcerting truth isknown all too well to ourtechnical colleges, whichself-control? In this econo-

my, we need to make sureour sharpest kids aren’tafraid to get their handsdirty. Going to one ofGeorgia’s technical colleges,even as a high school stu-dent (as my son is doing), isa good start to getting a job.But there seems to be an

equally successful track inthe military. These sameGeorgia manufacturingsupervisors relay to me thattheir best skilled laborersare military veterans. Theyshow up on time, have agreat attitude, do the jobright and they don’t strug-gle with drug abuse. At our two nuclear power

plants, I hear the same pos-itive story about employeeswho came out of the Navy’sNuclear program. They areprepared and do an excel-lent job. Maybe Congressshould rethink any cuts tothe military personnel bud-get for this reason alone. Itsounds like we need todirect more of our youngpeople towards servingtheir country and the bene-fits that come with it.

Remember last yearwhen Georgia had crops rotin the fields of SouthGeorgia because there werenot enough laborers to pickthem? I thought more thanonce that a week of pickingtomatoes, watermelons orokra would probably domost Georgia teenagers aworld of good. It did for me.Growing up in the Echolsfamily meant not only work-ing in the family summergarden, but cleaning cars onSaturday, selling peanuts atour car auction at night,and running a lawn busi-ness after school. All thatsweaty manual labor, dirtand sore muscles taught methe value of hard work and15 cents — the price of a bagof parched peanuts I sold.And it really made meappreciate the college edu-cation I received at UGAonce I got there.Our society has put a

tremendous emphasis ongetting a college education— as we should.Educational achievement isstill the best indicator of

financial success. But I haveto wonder if in between criband college, we are short-changing our children bynot making them do moreold-fashioned, physicallychallenging work. The mas-ter carpenter, skilledplumber and veteran brickmason once held stature.Not so much today, and thatis unfortunate.Are we doing our kids a

disservice by not havingthem explore vocationalopportunities offeredthrough our technical col-leges? Let’s reassert thevalue of “work.” Our futuresdepend on it.Echols is chairman of the

21st CCLC Holds Afterschool ProgramPumpkins of all sizes were

the main focus of a math les-son during the 21st CCLC af-terschool program at Hill-crest LEAP Elementary.Students had to estimatetheir pumpkin's size to in-clude circumference, weight,

and height in both metricand traditional measure-ments. After the estimateswere recorded, the studentsphysically measured theirpumpkins and weighed themon a scale and then comparedthe results. The truly fun

part came when the pump-kins were cut open and stu-dents removed the seedswhich were estimated, count-ed and recorded. All studentsagreed that math could cer-tainly be a fun, hands-on ex-perience. (Special Photo)

We take for granted all ofthe comforts we have. Peo-ple up north don’t haveelectricity or homes to livein. Appreciate what youhave. It can be taken awaywithin seconds.

Early voting, absenteevoting, and not having tohave a voter ID makes itvery easy to steal an elec-tion. This is probablywhat happened.

To those who said theywould leave the country ifPresident Obama wonagain-guess what? There'san airplane waiting foryou. Bye!

GOD BLESS AMERI-CA!! The right man won.God must be a Democrat.

Lord, please stay closeto me. Your sea is so wideand your boat is so small.

The Presidential Elec-tion is over...Can weplease put it behind usand resume normal pro-gramming?????

I was depressed thatObama won a 2nd term.

To the person who saidthey would move theirsmall business out of thecountry if the presidentwas reelected - Good-bye!See ya! Wouldn't want tobe ya!

Big congratulations toJon Martin on winningdistrict 2! We love you!

More people might go tochurch if preachers wouldpreach the gospel and notjust complain about thepeople who do not comechurch.

Why would peoplerather watch their pecansgo waste than to let some-one else pick them up?That's just plain greed.

Did you see DianneSawyer during the elec-tion broadcast? I wonderif she was drunk. She wasstumbling over her wordsand just acting crazy. Ithink she needs to retire.

I hope heaven will not beRepublican or Democrat,black nor white, but onlyGod-loving Christians.

The post office needs torealize that people dowrite letters. Not every-one has a computer. Somestill write letters by handand we need the post of-fice to stay open.

We do have to educatechildren, but I don't thinkpeople who are 60 or 70+years old should have topay school taxes.

Please pray for the peo-ple who have suffered be-cause of Hurricane Sandy.They need continuedprayers because of thenext storm hitting them. Ican’t imagine what it’slike. God bless them.

It is a sad day for thiscountry. I only hope thosewho elected Obama areprepared to reap the con-sequences of what theyhave done. My hope is in amerciful God.

When God be for you,who can be against you?

Congratulations to allthe winners of the elec-tion. Now, please get ourstate and country back inorder! We need help.

If you don't own theland, you should not bepicking pecans off of it ifyou don't have permission.That is stealing!

Mrs. Flanders Talks AboutGenes To Woman’s Study ClubOn Wednesday, October

24, Mrs. Gibbs Flanderscontinued the year’s em-phasis on “We Are Family”in Woman’s Study Club bydeclaring, “It’s in yourgenes,” or, at least, that’show scientists explain thephysical characteristics,personality traits, and be-haviors which make eachhuman unique. Clues car-ried in the genes - in theform of DNA - determineguilt or innocence, resolvepaternity or maternityquestions, predict thechance of inheriting a dis-ease or medical condition,and even trace the long-dis-tant ancestors of the humanfamily tree.The body is made up of

tiny units called cells - asmany as 100 trillion - andwithin the nucleus of eachone is a set of instructionswhich tell the cell what roleit will play in the body.These instructions are es-sentially a blue print, orrecipe, for building differ-ent parts of the cell andcome in the form of a mole-cule called DNA, deoxyri-bonuleic acid.Genes are sections of

DNA that form the individ-ual units of heredity. Theyare carried on tiny struc-tures called chromosomes.In humans, each cell nor-mally contains 23 pairs ofchromosomes. One chromo-some in each pair is inherit-ed from the mother, and theother from the father.Twenty-two of these pairslook the same in both malesand females. The 23rd pair,

called the sex chromosome,determines gender, the onethat differentiates malesand females. Females havetwo copies of the X chromo-some, one from each parent,while males have one Xchromosome from theirmother and one Y chromo-some from their father,who, therefore determinesthe sex of the child.The traits which make

individuals unique are in-herited, such as physicalcharacteristics - curly hair,blue eyes, and a tendencyfor health problems; all aredetermined by genes. Scien-tists also believe that manyemotional and behavioraltraits are influenced by anindividual’s genetic make-up, that eating habits, in-telligence, a penchant foraggressiveness and evensleeping patterns may havetheir roots in DNA.Popularized in recent

years by its use in high-pro-file criminal investigationsand paternity cases, DNA ismost commonbly used toprove a relationship to anindividual. New tests havealso turned DNA into a pop-ular tool for determiningancestry. As DNA is passeddown from one generationto the next, some parts re-main almost unchanged(though other parts maychange greatly). This cre-ates an unbreakable linkbetween generations andcan be of great help in re-constructing family histo-ries. While it can’t providean entire family tree, DNAtesting can determine if two

people are related, if twopeople descend from thesame ancestor, reveal a re-lationship to others withthe same surname, prove ordisprove a family tree re-search, and provide cluesabout ethnic origin.Mrs. Flanders discussed

home DNA test kits thatcan be ordered through themail or over the Internet ata cost averaging $100 -$400per test. More comprehen-sive complete tests cost$1000 - $1500. The selec-tion of a type is dependentupon the information theperson wishes to obtain -minimum for a minimumcost or a great deal for amore expensive fee. Sheconcluded by reminding theClub that even though an-cestry DNA testing is be-coming more and more pop-ular in genealogy research,it does not provide a com-plete family tree. It is asupplement to genealogy re-search and is most oftenused to confirm informationthat has already been com-piled through research.President Mrs. Weldon

Payne thanked the speakerfor her expertise in assist-ing the members to under-stand DNA and ways to ex-plore their family roots, al-so for allowing them to visither science classroom atDublin High School. She al-so welcomed the speaker’shusband, Judge Gibbs Flan-ders.Mrs. W.C. Brown of the

Program Committee pre-sented the speaker.

Love Your SpaceBy Claire LivingstonIsn’t this fall weather just

delicious? I’m loving it. I’m al-so loving the colors that ac-company the arrival of fall:the reds, oranges, and yel-lows. And if I didn’t have a catthat would eat it all, I wouldbring in some of nature’s love-liness to decorate my home.There was a time when

folks would change out thewhole house fromspring/summer décor tofall/winter furnishings. Forexample, grandmotherswould change heavy velvetwinter drapes to light linenones. That probably had moreto do with length of daylightand change in temperature inthe days before central heat-ing and air conditioning thananything else. But I’ve beenthinking about how smallchanges could make all thedifference in the world abouthow you feel in your space.Though we are creatures ofhabit, we humans are thrilledby the new and different. Sohere are some tips for season-al decorating.Summer suggests light and

airy interiors, fresh colors,and lots of flowers. In winterwe want a cozy, warm look.Therefore, spring/summer col-ors and accessories should be“light”, in color, texture, andlook. Likewise, fall/winter col-ors and accessories should beheavier, warmer and darker,and have more texture.For example,

spring/summer colors are softpastels, bright greens and yel-lows, beachy blues andwhites. Fall/winter colors areearthier oranges, reds, golds,and browns, and later thedeep jewel tones of navy, bur-gundy, and forest green.Spring/summer fabrics arecotton, linen, and light silk.Fall/winter fabrics are wooland velvet.Changing with the seasons

gives you an opportunity toget out pieces that youhaven’t seen in a long timeand make them the center ofattention for a while. Rotatingyour things will make it seemlike you have new accessoriesto surprise and delight you allyear long.Some of the easiest things

to change are placemats. Andthey are not that expensive. Ifyou have a collection of plateson display, put classic holidaydesigns out for the winter andreplacewith pret-ty floralchina fromgrandmain spring.Like-

wise withaccent pil-lows andthrows.When thecoldweatherarrives,have acozy, fleecethrow onyour furniture for snuggling.Replace with a soft cotton orsilk throw for warmermonths. Change dark-pat-terned decorative pillows bycovering them with fresh, flo-ral prints or plaids forwarmer weather. Eitherchange out the pillows with asecond set or have decorativecovers made that can be easi-ly changed.Floral arrangements of

pine and holiday colors can bechanged for light, colorfulones for the spring and sum-mer. Put away dark brass orpottery containers after thelast cold spell and bring outclear glass or crystal vaseswhen the birds start chirpingin the spring.Some of the easiest things

to decorate with are items youbuy at the grocery store. Abowl of apples or nuts are per-

fect for the fall season, as aresmall pumpkins and gourds.Pine cones, acorns, and otherseed pods make interestingadditions to centerpieces.Fresh flowers and citrusfruits are perfect for the sum-mer months. Bring in branch-es from trees in every season.If your budget allows, try

changing some larger pieces.For example, change out sisaland woven rugs for wool rugsor rugs with plush, high pilefor a warmer feel. Don’t forget

the slip-covers:have twosets of slip-coversmade foryour furni-ture sothat youcan changethose outas well.Removethe toastydown-filledduvet fromyour bed inthe spring

and substitute a light cottonmatelasse bed cover or a sim-ple cotton blanket.Have a change of drapery:

linen drapes for the summermonths, heavier drapes forthe winter ones. Or get re-versible drapes so they caneasily be turned with thechanging of the seasons. Aplain ivory on one side can bea neutral option while a morecolorful stripe on the reverseoffers a fresh look for anotherseason.If the idea of changing the

entire house seems dauntingor even too expensive, try cre-ating little vignettes through-out the house. In writing andart, “vignettes” are smallerscenes meant to have moreimpact. In decorating, a vi-gnette is an area that’s a self-contained setting within alarger space. A little reading

alcove, eating nook, or yourhallway table—these are allexamples of vignettes. Vi-gnettes are those “tight shots”you see in magazines—not thewhole room, but rather a littlegrouping that works.A couple of things happen

when you start your decorat-ing with vignettes: you finishone area to completion withminimal expense, and you seta style and mood to direct therest of the furnishing.Here are some ideas for

room-starter vignettes:A table in the hall, upon it

a lamp, a collection of objectsand seasonal flowers or fo-liage, and a mirror or artworkhung above it.A well-lit reading corner or

seating near the fireplace,with comfy chair, ottoman,blanket, and a table to rest adrink on.A grouping to play up ar-

chitectural details such as thespace under a staircase, be-tween windows, or flanking adoorway or fireplace.Display only the objects

you really love. The lamp, art,and knickknacks don’t have tomatch, but they do have tohave the same color, shape,pattern or texture, or feel likethey’re of the same mood,style, or era—there needs tobe a common thread thatmakes sense. Grouping itemswith a theme is how to createthe perfect personal space.Most of all, have fun. Don’t

make seasonal redecoratingmore work that has to bedone. Do a little at a time. Bythe time Thanksgiving getshere, your home should beready for holiday celebrating.

The odds are about as longas those for a white Christmasin these parts, but Dublin canjoin East Laurens in the GHSAClass AA playoffs.And the Irish have their

rivals to thank for it.Thanks to East Laurens' 42-

13 win at Westside-Augustalast week, Dublin still has achance at postseason, albeit aslim one. If the Irish (2-7, 2-3)can beat regionleader ScrevenCounty (8-1, 6-0) on Fridaynight and Joseycan upendWestside intheir city rival-ry, Dublinwould slide intothe region'sfourth playoffspot."Josey obvi-

ously won't be favored, but it'stwo teams in a rival game,"Dublin Coach Roger Holmessaid of the Eagles, who havedropped eight straight sincewinning their opener and arelast in the region at 0-6. "If(Josey) rolls out and hits two orthree big plays and Westsidedoesn't play well. ..."The Josey-Westside out-

come will be rendered mootunless the Irish can topple theGamecocks. The odds of thathappening will be about aslong as snow on Christmas ifDublin doesn't play any betterthan it did in last week's 38-7loss at Laney."We actually graded out

worse in this game than anygame all year," the coach saidfollowing film evaluation of thedrubbing that took Dublin'splayoff hopes from its hands."Assignments, execution, weplayed very poor on the offen-sive side. On defense, 24 per-cent of the time we had mis-alignment and we missed morethan 30 tackles."Despite all those ills, the

Irish were still in the gameuntil late in the third period."As poorly as we played, we

were still in it for a lot longerthan we should've been,"Holmes said.Dublin managed just 44

yards total for the game. TheIrish had minus-47 yards athalftime because of so manynegative plays, scoring theirlone touchdown in the game'sfinal minutes."We didn't get it done on

AUSTIN, Texas — Darrell Royal, the for-mer Texas football coach known as much forhis folksy, simplistic approach to life as for hiscreative wishbone offenses and two nationalchampionships, has died. He was 88.University of Texas spokesman Nick Voinis

on Wednesday confirmed Royal’s death. Royalhad suffered from Al-zheimer’s disease andrecently fell at an assisted living center wherehe was receiving care.Royal, who also starred as a defensive back

and quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners,didn’t have a single losing season in his 23years as head coach at Texas, Mississippi

State and Washington. In his 20 years atTexas (1957-76), his teams were 167-47-5 —the best mark in the nation during that time.One year ended with an even record.“It was fun,” Royal told The Associated

Press in 2007. “All the days I was coaching atTexas, I knew this would be my last coachingjob. I knew it when I got here.”Royal was just 32 when Texas hired him.

The Longhorns hadn’t had a winning seasonsince 1953, and Royal immediately turned theprogram around.Under Royal, Texas won 11 Southwest

Conference titles, 10 Cotton Bowls and nation-al championships in 1963 and 1969, going 11-0 each time. The Longhorns also won a share

of the 1970 national title.The son of a cotton farmer, Royal credited

hard work and luck for his success. He had aknack for delivering pithy quotes about histeam and opponents.“Football doesn’t build character, it elimi-

nates the weak ones,” was one of Royal’sfamous lines.The national title season in 1969 included

what was dubbed the “Game of the Century,” acome-from-behind, 15-14 victory by the top-ranked Longhorns over No. 2 Arkansas to capthe regular season.Texas honored Royal in 1996 by renaming

the stadium Darrell K Royal-Memorial Stad-ium. K was his name, not an abbriviation.

Falcons Vet Not Shying From Talk Of PerfectionAssociated Press

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — ToddMcClure can tell this is becoming aspecial season for the AtlantaFalcons, just from all the extra timehe’s spending on the phone.He’s getting hit for tickets. And

extra tickets. And anything with asignature on it.“I guess it comes with the territo-

ry,” the Falcons’ longtime center saidWednesday, “so I’m embracing it.”McClure is also embracing the

idea of perfection, the goal that every

team strives for butfew will ever reach.The Falcons have wontheir first eightgames, the best startin franchise historyand halfway to a 16-0season.The 1972 Miami

Dolphins are the onlyteam in the modernera to make it throughan entire year without a loss. The2007 New England Patriots are thelone squad to go undefeated in a 16-

game regular season (before losing, ofcourse, in the Super Bowl).Now, along come the Falcons.Can they reach perfection?“We can,” McClure said without a

hint of hesitation. “There’s no reasonwe can’t. If we play our game, go outand do what we’re supposed to go, wecan. The sky’s the limit for this team.Is it going to be hard? Yes. Will it behard this week? Yes.“But,” he added, “if we approach it

week by week, it’s definitely possi-ble.”An 8-0 start is not all that usual —

the Falcons are the 10th team to do itin the last two decades, according toSTATS LLC — but this is where thepressure starts to mount. There’smore and more media attention, moreand more questions about the streak.Opposing teams start to play with alittle extra fire, eager to be the teamthat ends the unbeaten season.That’s why another Falcons’ line-

man, right tackle Tyson Clabo, isrealistic about the chances of going16-0.“We’re only halfway there,” he

said. “Statistically, the chances of

that are really slim. I mean, we baseour game plans on statistics.Statistically, this what’s going to hap-pen, so we’re going to do this. So Idon’t think we should deviate fromour entire mindset based on this big,golden cow that everybody thinks weshould try to get to.”Besides, despite being the league’s

only unbeaten team, the Falcons arestill searching for a little nationalrespect.Outside of Atlanta, there’s still a

West Laurens hasn't been elimi-nated from the GHSA Class AAAAplayoffs, but its name is on theledger of longshots in pencil.The Raiders need to win tomor-

row night at Mary Persons andhave Howard topple Perry on thefinal week of Region 2 action tosend somebody looking for an eras-er. The long odds against WestLaurens (5-4, 3-3) aren't those cre-ated by Mary Persons (7-2, 6-1)."We feel like we match up pret-

ty well with them," West CoachStacy Nobles said of the Bulldogs,the region's second-place team.It's the second half of the equa-

tion that puts the wet blanket onthe Raiders' hopes.Howard is on a 23-game losing

streak dating to the2010 season, andhas scored morethan one touch-down in a gamethis year only once.Perry (5-4, 3-3) istied with West forfourth in the stand-ings, but defeatedthe Raiders earlierthis year."All we can do is

win, and have them tell us we can'tplay any more," Nobles said.The playoffs may be on life sup-

port, but the chance for a winningseason is clearly in the Raiders'sights. West hasn't finished above.500 since going 6-5 in 2005, thelast time it advanced to postsea-son."We have a chance for a winning

season through all the adversitywe've had," said Nobles, whoseteam has been slammed by injuriesthroughout the season, particular-ly along the offensive line. "We'renot satisfied with just (winningseason), absolutely not. But wecan't change the past. All we can dois handle what's before us now."(Winning season) would be

another step trying to get the pro-gram where it needs to be."West Laurens lost control of its

postseason destiny in last week's29-0 loss at Baldwin, which haslocked up the region's third playoffspot. The Raiders fell behind early,courtesy of losing the field positionbattle, and could never recover."We just didn't play well enough

to win last week," Nobles said.

needed," Holmes said.Playing with Screven will necessitate limit-

ing the effectiveness of fullback JeremyJohnson.The 6-foot, 280-pound senior ran for 162 yardsand four touchdowns on just 12 carries, andcaught a touchdown pass in last week's 40-12win against Josey.Johnson, a three-year starter, rambled for

more than 1,300 yards and scored 30 touch-

downs this season. Only East Laurens has heldhim to fewer than 100 yards in a game thisyear."It all starts with him," Holmes said. "He's

an Earl Campbell for all the old-timers. He justbeats you down and bruises you."You need to get to him before he gets going,

and you need to have people in the right placesto stop him. You don't want to get yourself insituations where you're trying to tackle himone-on-one because you're not going to be suc-cessful too many times doing that."

West gave up a defensivetouchdown early on the way toa 18-0 halftime deficit. Withlead running back Gerald Carrstill shelved with a kneeinjury, the Raiders never couldget anything going on theground, or much through theair."They're big and physical up

front and gave us fits," Noblessaid. "We had a hard time get-ting a block, and when we did,

we couldn't sustain them.We're a run-first team andwhen you're not able to estab-lish the run, it makes thingstough on us."The defense played well

enough to win, but we didn'tput them in some tough situa-tions. You keep (Baldwin's)athletes on the field thatmuch, they're eventually goingto break something."Nobles is optimistic that

Carr, who tops the Raiderswith more than 700 yards and

10 touchdowns, will be back atleast for spot duty. The seniorreturned to practices this weekafter spraining a knee twoweeks ago.Fellow senior Reggie Mack,

a starter in the secondary, ranfor than 140 yards two weeksago in a win against Veterans,but was bottled up last week."It'll be nice to have (Carr)

back in some form or fashion,"Nobles said. "We need his help.We're really thin in the skillpositions."

Trinity, with sophomore Seth Morton in forBarrs, managed just 102 yards total, stickingmostly with the run given Morton’s limitedpreparation.“We played hard, physical, but didn’t play

inspired or with the confidence and swaggerwith someone coming into our yard,” Woodardsaid. “A high school football team is a uniquesituation chemistry-wise. When something isout of whack, you sometimes never get it backand we never did.“We lost our quarterback and just weren’t

mature enough to overcome it in a week. Wewanted to win, but I don’t know if we thoughtwe could win.”The Crusaders appear to have recovered

with a few extra days. Woodard saidWednesday that the previous day’s practice waslikely the team’s best in weeks.“I know the kids are zeroed in and focused

again,” he said.Dominion Christian comes into the game off

a forfeit fromArlington Christian. Prior to that,the Knights had dropped their previous threegames.The Marietta school operates from a spread

offense that favors the pass and a defense with

multiple fronts and blitzing from not only line-backers, but the secondary.“Their quarterback is a little left-hander who

throws it pretty good down the field,” Woodardsaid. “They sprint out and flood zones morethan a lot of spread teams. It puts a lot of pres-sure the defensive backs and defensive ends.It’s hard to pressure him the way they move thepocket.”The gambling defense can create negative

plays to get opponents behind the chains, butalso has given up big plays. Dominion hasallowed 40 or more points five times, topped bya 59-point barrage by Heritage Christian.“We’ll have to block down, kick out, reach

and zone (defense),” Woodard said.The extra fews days have allowed the

Crusaders to open the playbook more forMorton. EBA often had all 11 defenders withinseven yards of the line of scrimmage, gamblingTrinity wasn’t going to pass.Both Morton and Gunnar Dixon have

worked on the pass this week. Morton missedMonday’s workout for a dislocated little fingeron his non-throwing hand, but returnedTuesday with no problems, Woodard said.“Passing comes so much from confidence,”

the coach said. “But you have to complete someto get confidence you can. We’re working on it.”

great deal of skepticism aboutwhether this team will end upholding the Lombardi Trophyat the end of the season, nomatter how good it looks at themoment.The Falcons have defeated

only one team (Denver in Week2) with a winning record. Thecombined record of their firsteight opponents is a rather dis-mal 24-41. Perhaps the twotoughest games are still tocome — Sunday’s contest atNew Orleans against the surg-ing Saints, Atlanta’s fiercestrival. Then there’s a Decembercontest against the defendingSuper Bowl champion NewYork Giants, who thoroughlydominated when the teamsmet last season in the playoffs.“At this point, we have so

many other goals that aremore important than” going16-0, Clabo said. “Like win-ning the division. Like tryingto get a game in the (Georgia)Dome in the playoffs. We havea whole bunch of things wehave to do before we evenworry about doing that other

thing.”Still, the odds of the Falcons

running the table start to lookmuch better if they get to 9-0.Other than the NFC East-leading Giants (6-3), theremaining opponents on theschedule are a cumulative 17-24 (Atlanta still has two gamesleft with division rival TampaBay). Four of the last sevengames are at the GeorgiaDome, where the Falcons havea 30-7 record since Mike Smithtook over as coach in 2008.“I think we’ve got the pedi-

gree to do it,” receiver RoddyWhite said. “Offensively anddefensively and how we are asa team. The locker room isvery, very united right now. Wego into every week expecting towin. ... We’ve still got to be con-sistent, don’t turn the ball overand get turnovers. That’s beenthe key to winning games allover this league. If we continueto do that, we’ll be just fine.”Indeed, Atlanta is among

the league leaders in two cate-gories that Smith considersthe key to success: turnoversand penalties.The Falcons have lost only

one fumble all season — whenquarterback Matt Ryan took ahit — and are plus-10 inturnover ratio, which ranksfourth behind Chicago, theGiants and New England.They are by far the leastflagged team in the league,called for just 26 penalties (17fewer than any other team)accounting for 207 yards (118below the next-lowest total).“Coach Smith is always

pointing out the penalties thatplayers have and how theyaffect the game,” defensiveback Robert McClain said.“You don’t want to be the guywho gets called out.”The Saints (3-5) have shown

signs of bouncing back from an0-4 start, and they’ve wontheir last three meetingsagainst the Falcons. NewOrleans would love nothingbetter than to snuff out hope ofan unbeaten season in Atlanta.“We’ve got an opportunity to

do something nobody’s beenable to do this year, and that’sbeat Atlanta,” Saints offensivelineman Jahri Evans said. “I’mkind of glad that they’re unde-feated.”

Ivory Becomes Gold For SaintsAssociated Press

METAIRIE, La. — Chris Ivory doesn’t knowwhy he didn’t get his first chance to carry theball until the eighth game of the season.The Saints running back figured the best

thing he could do during the first seven weeksof the season was simply stay sharp andfocused, so that he could be relied upon whenhis number finally was called.“I still don’t get it. I just played the patient

role,” Ivory said on Wednesday after logging 10carries for 48 yards — nearly 5 yards a carry —including a 22-yard touchdown in New Orleans28-13 victory over Philadelphia on Mondaynight. “It was hard to be patient but, you know,I was. ... When they needed to count on me, Iwas accountable. The focus was definitelythere, and like I said, once they called my num-ber I was ready to go.”Although the bruising 6-foot, 222-pounder

made major contributions against the Eagles,Ivory cannot be sure he’ll have a more consis-tent role in the offense. One reason he saw moreaction last week was because Darren Sproleswas out with a broken bone in his left hand.Sproles did not practice Wednesday and couldbe out again this week, but the Saints are deepat running back, with Pierre Thomas and MarkIngram also in the mix.In recent seasons, New Orleans coaches said

they believed they could never have too manygood running backs because one of more ofthem inevitably would be too banged up to playevery week, but that was not the case duringthe first seven weeks of this season, leavingIvory fourth on the depth chart.

“I feel like it’s more the situation with thebacks here and them trying to divvy up carrieswith all the guys,” Ivory said. “I don’t think ithas anything to do with my talent or if youwant to say lack of talent, maybe. I don’t thinkthat’s what it is. If they keep calling my num-ber, I’m going to be ready.”Saints coaches never indicated any loss of

confidence in Ivory, simply stating that theybelieved Thomas, Sproles and Ingram were thethree running backs performing better.

WriterTeri Shields raised

eyebrows when she allowedher 11-year-old daughter,Brooke, to be cast as aprostitute in 1978’s “PrettyBaby.” A few years later, shepermitted a teenage BrookeShields to famously star in aseries of commercials forCalvin Klein jeans,provocatively professing thatnothing comes between “meand my Calvins.”Teri Shields died last week

in New York City, according toJill Fritzo, a spokeswoman forBrooke Shields. She was 79.The New York Times reportedthe elder Shields diedfollowing a long illness relatedto dementia.Teri Shields started

promoting her daughter as anactress and model when shewas still an infant andmanaged her until her 20s.Shields described herdaughter’s fan appeal in a1978 TV interview: “They seetotal innocence, which istotally there. And two, theyhave the sexy child too, theyhave the sexy person — thatappeals to them.”Brooke Shields parted

ways professionally with hermother in 1995, describing themove as “the hardest thing.”She told Rolling Stone thefollowing year that“something didn’t feel right.”“I had hopes and dreams,

and I wasn’t doing anything togo toward them,” she said.“The focus was on creating apersona rather than a talent.”Teri Shields said in 1996

that she was proud of herdaughter for taking control ofher life and career.“I felt that she had to be on

her own. It kills me once in awhile. I would like to get overit,” she said in an interview onTV’s “Extra.” ‘I would love forBrooke to be my best friend,but you can’t because I am hermother and she is mydaughter.”Besides her daughter,

Shields is survived by a sisterand two granddaughters.

The bidding:SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST1♠♠ Pass 2♣♣ Pass2♠♠ Pass 4♠♠ Pass6♠♠ Pass Pass Pass

Opening lead: King of ♥♥

It pays to bid aggressively whenvulnerable — the rewards are worthit. But that applies only if you havethe skill to handle difficult contracts.Since North’s two-club response

was forcing to game, as is the modernstyle, South could rebid two spades incomfort. After North showed sup-port, South took a shot at slam in thehope of finding a slightly more suit-able dummy.West led the king of hearts, taken

by declarer with the ace. The firstproblem was in the trump suit, andcashing the ace and king revealedthat matters were desperate. Saddledwith a trump loser, declarer had toavoid losing a heart and a club for theslam to succeed. But even if the clubsuit could be brought in without loss,that was only half the battle.After considerable thought declar-

er found the way. Since two heartswould have to be discarded beforeWest could ruff with the queen andcash the queen of hearts, that defend-er would have to hold four clubs aswell. To protect against the possibili-ty of East holding the singleton queenor ten, declarer next led the nine ofclubs to the king.When only low cards appeared,

declarer returned to hand with the aceof diamonds and led the eight ofclubs. West was a dead duck. If hefollowed low, declarer would run theeight as the only hope and then repeatthe finesse. If West covered, declarerwould win in dummy as cheaply aspossible, return to hand with a dia-mond ruff and take another finesse toland the slam. Try it.
